For Kolkata, the table below prints every fasting day of Ramadan 1448 AH — thirty rows running from 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in India, subject to the sighting of the new moon, and to end with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. Day 1 in Kolkata runs from Fajr at 04:56 to Maghrib at 17:29 — a fast of 12 hours 33 minutes — and ends at 13 hours 6 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 04:37, Maghrib 17:43). Times are calculated for Kolkata itself using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (Asia/Kolkata), so if you live elsewhere in India your local times may differ by a few minutes — the further you are from Kolkata, the more you should prefer your local mosque's published timetable.
Each row of the Kolkata table is one fast: the fast begins at Fajr, so Sehri — the pre-dawn meal the Prophet ﷺ called a blessing — must finish by the Fajr time in the Sehri column, 04:56 on day 1 and 04:37 on day 30, and many families stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. The Iftar moment is the Maghrib figure — 17:29 on day 1, 17:43 on day 30 — when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Kolkata that wait is 12 hours 33 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 6 minutes on the last. Watch the drift across the rows: Because the month falls in late winter at Kolkata's latitude (22.6), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before. Inside these rows sit the odd nights of the last ten days — opening at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — when Laylat al-Qadr is sought; the 27th night opens at Maghrib on 5 March, which in Kolkata is the 17:42 Iftar of Ramadan day 26's row, and its fast follows at Fajr 04:39.

Whichever madhab you follow in Kolkata, your fast itself does not move. The Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools all begin the fast at Fajr and end it at Maghrib, so Sehri and Iftar in Kolkata are the same 04:56 and 17:29 on day 1 for every Sunni worshipper. Asr is the difference: 15:04 on day 1 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali (shadow equal to length), 15:52 for Hanafi (shadow twice the length), a gap of 48 minutes that widens or narrows only slightly by day 30 (15:10 against 16:04, 54 minutes). On the live page, choosing your madhab re-labels the table and the PDF calendar to your Asr; this static table simply prints both, side by side, so the choice is visible rather than hidden.
Jafari (Shia) times are shown in their own tab on the live page, not mixed into the table above. Applied to Kolkata: day 1 Sehri 04:46 (Fajr 04:56 minus 10) and Iftar 17:41 (Maghrib 17:29 plus 12); day 30 Sehri 04:27 and Iftar 17:55. Where your own marja's ruling differs from the 10/12-minute convention, follow that ruling; the tab exists to make the common practice easy to find, not to settle a point of taqlid.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Kolkata: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (04:56 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
Method and honesty note for Kolkata: the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, applied to Kolkata itself (22.57, 88.36, Asia/Kolkata), produces the whole table; it is not a national average and it is not copied from a neighbouring city. Times are printed to the minute, as calculated; a one-minute precaution at Sehri and Iftar is a long-standing local practice in many communities, and your mosque's timetable — which may already include it — takes precedence in any close call.
The thirtieth row is insurance, not a promise. Ramadan closes at 29 days if the new crescent is sighted on that evening, and only runs to the Tue, 9 Mar 2027 row — Fajr 04:37, Maghrib 17:43 in Kolkata — if it is not. If Eid is announced after 29 fasts in India, the final row (Tue, 9 Mar 2027, Iftar 17:43 in Kolkata) simply does not apply, and Iftar on the 29th day is followed by the night of Eid instead. If India's start is announced a day later than 8 February 2027, the whole table shifts by one row — the times move with the dates. Method differences show up at the edges of the day — the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi Fajr of 04:56 and Isha of 18:45 on day 1 are convention, while Dhuhr (11:51), Asr and Maghrib are the sun itself, which is why rival tables agree on Iftar and quarrel politely over Sehri.
Finally, a practical word for people whose days are long or whose work is physical: the month's fasts here span 12 hours 33 minutes to 13 hours 6 minutes. That is manageable for most healthy adults, but illness, medication, pregnancy and travel each carry their own ruling, and no timetable can see your circumstances. Guides linked below work through the exemptions and what replaces a missed fast — Fidya or Qaza — and a scholar in India can apply them to your case. May Allah accept your fasting, your prayers and your charity throughout the month.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Kolkata, India, pending the moon sighting that confirms it. Should the start be announced a day later, day 1's times (04:56 Fajr, 17:29 Maghrib in Kolkata) would simply attach to the following Gregorian date.
On day 1 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027, 1 Ramaḍān 1448), Sehri ends at Fajr, at 04:56 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027), and the fast is broken at Maghrib 17:29. From that Fajr, nothing is eaten or drunk until Iftar — a fast of 12 hours 33 minutes. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 04:56 to 04:37, which is why the table prints every day separately.
This calendar uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is the convention customarily used for this part of India. The method matters most at the day's edges — Fajr (04:56 on day 1) and Isha (18:45) — since Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib track the visible sun. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Kolkata, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
Asr is where the madhab choice shows up in Kolkata's table — Sehri and Iftar do not change. Day 1 makes it concrete: Asr at 15:04 on the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, and at 15:52 on the Hanafi calculation, a difference of 48 minutes. The difference comes from the shadow rule: the first three schools begin Asr when an object's shadow equals its length (besides the noon shadow), while the Hanafi school waits until the shadow is twice the length. Follow the madhab you normally pray by, and use the same column all month so your Taraweeh and Iftar routine stays consistent.
In Kolkata the month peaks on day 30: 13 hours 6 minutes from Fajr 04:37 to Maghrib 17:43 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027). The shortest is day 1 at 12 hours 33 minutes, and day 1 runs 12 hours 33 minutes against day 30's 13 hours 6 minutes. That shape is fixed by Kolkata's latitude (22.6) and the February–March season, not by the calculation method: every method agrees on Fajr and Maghrib to within a minute or two here.
The Jafari tab on this page applies the customary precaution: Sehri ends 10 minutes before the Fajr in the main table, and Iftar begins 12 minutes after Maghrib. Day 1 in Kolkata: Sehri 04:46, Iftar 17:41; day 30: Sehri 04:27, Iftar 17:55. Treat the Jafari times as the precautionary practice they are labelled as, and follow your own marja's guidance where it differs.
